Q11:"How do you move beyond surface-level praise to intentionally celebrate each student’s unique identity? How do you proactively dismantle the culture of shame or 'masking' that occurs when students feel they must hide their true selves?" @elemmathchat.bsky.social @mathedleaders.bsky.social

Q8: If we want to cultivate grit, how must we change the way we assess "success" to ensure we are valuing the diverse ways students approach and represent their mathematical thinking? @elemmathchat.bsky.social @mctm-mn.bsky.social @mathedleaders.bsky.social @mnmmath.bsky.social @nctm.org
